Figure 2*'is1a`detailnnderside 'View ofv my inprovedattuehment. l f Figure'3 represents a' modification oi. the sante.

Siinilar'letters of reference indiciite corresponding parts.

My invention' has for tsobject to iinprove,theconstrnction of cooking-stoves' so as to make them more convenient in'nso; and it consists in ttachinga hinged 'shelf to the rear part of the stove, and inthe comhinntion and-arrangement of the parte, by which-the shelf -.is connected to the stove. Y -A ".A1s5a1plote'fittcdKuponth top ofthe rear' parto-f the stove,I and the forward edge of which fits upon the formed liooli a; which catch under the top'of ,the stove,'and brace the said plate securely in place. C is an arm'formed'upon or attached to the rear part of thepl'lte A, and extending down along the back of the s tove,

as shown in fig. 1.' D is a. setescrevr,v passing through the lower end of the arm C, with itspoint resting against the rear side of the stove, so that the platekmay he rea.dily adjnsted to a horizontal position.

llisfnehelf whchjis hinged-to the rear edge of thel plate l.A5 so that when not required for use it maybe turned d'o'w'n along the rear side of the stove, so as to be ont of the way. F is a. braeefarm, which is -pivoted to the plate A,and. to @projection formed upon the arin C,pso that the snidbrace-arm F may be turned out; to
